This project is about authentic Tribe of Sarangani
Sarangani’s uplands are the domain of indigenous mountain tribes such as Blaan, Tagakaolo, Tboli, Manobo, Ubo, and Kalagan who have been residing in the mountains for generations.
Culture vultures can immerse with the B'laan communities at the LamLifew Tribal
Village Museum in upland Malungon, the only one of its kind in the country.
Established in 2007, this repository of ethnic heritage chronicles the B'laan's exotic culture, especially its intricate weaving and dyeing traditions and organic agricultural practices.
The intricate Mabal Tabih fabric of the B'laan is considered the crown jewel of Sarangani's
cultural resource conservation, with Gusiye Buan as the residend master weaver at the Lamlifew School of Living Traditions in Malungon town.
The province is also home to Muslim tribes, notably the Maguindanaoans of Malapatan who are
noted for their craft of weaving the equisite "malong" and "inaul" cloths with their traditional handlooms, which have found their way around the world as Muslim-inspired clothing or accesories. Another cultural gem is the gaily-decorated "ginakit" boats which they parade during the town's Pakaradyan Festival.
